UK Aerospace Research and Technology Programme closing soon

The UK Aerospace Research and Technology (UKART) Programme, which represents a £3.9bn joint government and industry investment, will close to expressions of interest (EOI) at noon on 23 January.

The programme is designed to maintain and grow the UK’s competitive position in civil aerospace with partners working in collaboration to deliver a portfolio of projects to meet the objectives of the Aerospace Technology Strategy, ‘Raising Ambition’.

UKART is now seeking EOIs for projects that have a potential application within the civil aerospace sector. Priority areas identified within the UK Aerospace Technology Strategy include:

whole aircraft design and integration

aerostructures

advanced systems

propulsion technologies

Successful applicants will be invited to the second stage and those applications will be ones with a strategic fit with the UK Aerospace Technology Strategy that provide value for money for the UK. To express interest in the competition, click here. More information is also on the ATI website.
